Really disappointed with the flowers we got from this place. My boyfriend bought me graduation flowers from here and half of them already looked dead right when we picked them up. A lot of the flowers were already fully bloomed too, which made them look old and like they wouldn't last long at all. Some petals were wilting and had brown edges already. For such an important occasion and the price we paid ($150), I expected much fresher flowers. Honestly ruined part of the experience. Would not recommend!!! read more

Really nice people. Love that they are open saturday and over the holidays. Easy parking cute large shop able to accommodate last minute order sorry, I forgot to take photo of arrangement it was an ok arrangement and I asked that they add $20 more flowers to make it pop with a little more color (added pink roses) Will definitely use them again. read more

We placed a Get Well arrangement called "Pink Lemonade " yesterday on their website to be delivered today to Stanford Hospital which is only 10 minutes away from their store. The picture showed on their site was only $75 but we pay $115 for a premium arrangement. What we received is in no way comparable to the $75 one, let alone for $115. Here's the $75 arrangement showed on their site and The $115 arrangement we received 20 minutes ago. If there's a return policy, we would use it right now. We definitely would characterize this as a "hit & run" transaction. They probably though we wouldn't use them again since we live in San Jose so they didn't care enough to put together a quality, as-expected product. We had to give our billing address which is in SJ to pay with a credit card. So sadly, we were utterly disappointed with Mills Florist. Be warned! read more

I've received gorgeous Valentine's Day long-stemmed red roses from Mills Florist for the past 10+ years. In that time, I was disappointed only once. We called the shop and they immediately offered a resolution to our satisfaction. read more

I don't give negative reviews lightly. Don't trust this Florist to deliver to your someone special. Prepaid orders in advance for multiple delivery dates. Florist fulfilled the first order, and later requested I pay additional delivery fees. Florist also requested I pay higher price for the flowers I had already prepaid, or accept 1/2 order at original price paid. Despite advance purchase, Florist cancelled the remaining order shortly before expected delivery. Bad business. I have been a patron here for years, and this was a disappointing experience. I won't return. read more

Fairly seamless delivery procedure from their website, you can pick out a style of bouquet, customize a message and any instructions, and they are happy to deliver. Delivery costs felt a little high for a local florist, but the prices were much more reasonable than many other competitors. Bouquet was pretty, on the smaller side, but they listened to my instructions, which was very pleasant. (I asked them to include flowers that hadn't quite bloomed yet so that the flowers would live longer). read more

Best floral shop in the peninsula! Browsed their website for a last minute purchase of bouquets to find a selection to gift; placed the order on the phone for 10 bouquets within a tight timeline of 2 hours, and they delivered on the spot. So grateful for this floral business! They deserve your business for going above and beyond, and guaranteeing delivery to fit our needs. Happy holidays to the dynamic team at Mills! read more

We recently had a death in the family and received several arrangements to our home from various florists, some actually arrived where the flowers had already turned brown. The Mills arrangement was the freshest most beautiful of all, we are a week out and it's the only surviving arrangement. Beautiful work! read more

Stopped by this establishment on a Friday evening. My team just moved to Palo Alto that day and I finally had a glorious window seat.This meant I was in the market to find something cute and green for my desk. On my way to dinner, I saw this nice planter of succulents in the front of the florist shop, but it didn't have a price tag so I wanted to inquire about it. The woman working at the cash register was busy helping another customer with a bouquet of flowers, so I patiently stood behind him waiting for them to finish. Once they finished, she turned around and started fumbling with a cash register and was really absorbed with filing some paperwork from that transaction. About a minute goes by and she doesn't acknowledge me. Thinking maybe she didn't see me earlier, I say a meek hello, to which she responds with a curt "I'll be right with you." I waited another few minutes, but she still doesn't turn around to help me. At this point I have been standing there for 6 to 7 minutes in total, and my interest in the succulents were quickly diminishing. Finally I had enough, so I turned around and left without saying another word. My guess is business must be booming, so she probably didn't need me as a customer anyway. I've made a mental note not to use this business for my company's floral needs in the future. read more

I received a beautiful flower arrangement recently from a friend who used Mills Florist. The arrangement was lovely - see photo - but when hydrangeas are used as a big part of a bouquet, then the woody stems should be cut to allow water to reach the flower head. These were not cut at all, so not surprising that the hydrangea heads were all drooping 2 days after receiving the flowers. read more

Fantastic. My friend ordered these for me on my birthday and I was a bit shocked given that I a) wasn't expecting them and b) they were stunning! Such a beautiful order and the delivery man Connor was very sweet-went the extra mile to ensure the order was up to par/cracked a few jokes too for the birthday girl. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Such a pretty arrangement! Thanks folks! read more

I first started using Mills Florist a couple of decades ago through my then-employer who used them for all client, firm, and family needs. Since then, I've encouraged all of my employers to use them, and they're the only florist my family will use. The bouquets are fresh and lovely - and always perfect for whatever occasion. They will always endeavor to meet tight time restraints (they helped me just today with a bouquet I needed asap for a family member!). Every person with whom I speak is not only professional and courteous, but exceptionally kind. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

This place is amazing!!! Shane gets an A+ on customer service and details. He really went above and beyond to not only respect my budget but also to getting my bouquet on time. Thank you so much for making my day less stressful!! read more

I called from out of the area to have flowers delivered to a friend's hotel room. This florist was the hotel's recommendation. The flowers were gorgeous & they were very accommodating over the phone. I wanted the arrangement in a tea cup. They didn't have one, but found one the next day. My girlfriend said it was the most beautiful arrangement she had seen. It included miniature roses, hydrangeas, etc. Mills Florist also has "specials" - tulips, that Monday (I called the day after Mother's Day!). Thank you read more

Best florist in the peninsula! My family has been using Mills for over 40 years, at both the old Palo Alto location and the new location in Mountain View. Their arrangements are significantly higher quality than any other flower shop in the area, and are always a hit with their recipients. You can expect intricate and expertly crafted flower arrangements, at a reasonable price! read more

Beautiful! My sister's boyfriend ordered one dozen roses to our place as a surprise for her. I was the one who received them. They were delivered in the afternoon, while I was gone, but they were waiting on the porch when I came back. I didn't expect them to be so big! They were beautifully arranged in a perfect vase for the bouquet itself with a note attached. The handwriting on the note was neat and word for word what was requested. I'll definitely be ordering from here next time I need any bouquets! read more

Shane delivered excellent customer service and troubleshooted every issue for a last-minute order for flowers that I needed. I wanted a bouquet but couldn't figure out exactly what I needed, he asked me all of the right questions. In less than 2 minutes, we had a flower arrangement, extra rose petals, and a pick up time. He was very respectful of my budget, and worked quickly to throw everything together so by the time I came to pick up the flowers, I was in and out in less than a minute. read more

This flower arrangement was not what I wanted or asked for. Delivered to wrong building at the hospital thats only five minutes away from ther flower shop. Didn't call the contact to let them know flowers had arrived. Over nice arrangement but overpriced for the product and the service. read more

The people at Mills Florist were exceptional! An event planner tasked me last minute to get four centerpieces for a birthday dinner. I needed red flowers. I was in the area and decided to order them here. Well worth the cost, labor and design. I even ordered around Mother's Day and they were able to accommodate me! I was very pleased with how they came out! They looked beautiful on the tables. I will use them again if I ever need a flower order. They were able to take cash or card and placed the centerpieces in a box for me. So easy to transport. read more

I would definitely recommended this shop! read more

My sister and I were casually strolling around Downtown Palo Alto after dinner when we stopped by Mills Flowers. First, although there was a decent sized selection given the amount of space. We were in search of a nice dorm plant and ended up buying two! The worker was extremely helpful. He lowered flowers so we could get a better view and gave us tips as we contemplated between different species. He seemed to genuinely love his job and care for the plants. We were very satisfied with the service and the plants. read more

Mills Florist - two succulents - Florists Near Me - Mountain View, California

After contacting a number of florists in the area for my wedding, I decided to go with Mills given their responsiveness and their proximity to my venue in Menlo Park. It was a tad on the pricey side, but I loved the flowers that I ended up getting. My consultant Nikki was also great to work with; she has a strong vision and certainly does not mince or sugar-coat words, but does a great job in distilling her clients' ideas and executing them to a T. I ordered boutonnieres and bouquets with Mills (while I ordered my centerpieces from Safeway to save some $$). Nikki was very mindful of my budget, and had great suggestions on color and flower types to complement my theme colors and venue. On my big day, my florals turned out to be HUGE with a hint of whimsy, which was a nice surprise. The bouquets also contained massive peonies with a bright shade of pink that actually matched the bridesmaids' dresses really well, which spoke to Nikki's ability to factor in all the details. The bouquet lasted well through the night, and I received so many complements throughout the wedding too. Mills and Nikki both come with high marks for any bride looking to get professional input and execution on their wedding florals; I'm definitely a fan! read more

Who is open at 3pm on Christmas Eve AND apologetic for not being able to make a dtpa delivery for my last minute ass? MILLS! Not only was my Mission Impossible completed, but I was not made to feel like the lagger that I was and my needs were properly accommodated, with a smile. The price was fair. The service was outstanding. I will be returning to Mills for all my needs, hopefully I will think a little farther in advance next time. read more

I was looking for flowers for my wedding and this company came recommended by a friend of my mom's. We went and the woman was nice, she sat and explained everything and said she would get us a quote. I was nearly ready to book with them even before seeing the quote. Poppy, the woman we met with told us it would be a couple of weeks before she could get us the quote. So we waited. 2 weeks came and went. I called and spoke with Poppy. Apparently she had a wedding and then was sick but said she would get it to me in the next 2-3 days. Another WEEK came and went and no e-mail and phone call. I called one more time nearly 4 weeks after the initial meeting. I wasn't able to speak with Poppy because she had stepped out. The woman who answered the phone took my name and number and explained that she had been sick and she would have her call me back. I never heard from her. I was so frustrated with the situation. They said I would get a quote and never gave one. My mother called her friend to explain our disappointments in her recommendation. Her friend then proceeded to call the florist. The couldn't understand why I was in such a hurry to get a quote when the wedding isn't until Dec. 31! And then Poppy proceeded to lie to them and say we had spoke and she had e-mailed the quote. I never got anything! I would never recommend this company, their customer service is beyond horrendous and they are just plain rude and inconsiderate. Do not go to this florist for anything. read more

I used to work next door and the old man who worked here used to give me a single stem flower all the time just to brighten my day! The flowers are pricier than your Safeway or Costco mixed bouquet but they are beautifully arranged and absolutely perfect! No wilted or bent flowers here! They also have a much larger selection than most other florists and carry truly unique vases. This is my absolute favorite place to get flowers, HINT HINT :) read more

I can't speak for ordering arrangements here, since I haven't done that, but I do regularly drop by to pick up a rose or three for the vase at home. Their older long stem roses are discounted to a dollar once they're past their prime, but that doesn't mean they've gone bad -- these things are still gorgeous and I've had them last up to a week, if not sometimes longer. Everyone I've met here is super friendly too. I love the variety they carry. I've found all sorts of interesting colors of roses here, including a really gorgeous lavendar and a neat antiquey cream with blushy edges. It's a sad day when I don't have at least one rose from Mills kicking around the house somewhere. read more

Rocks the House. I called around multiple florists in the Stanford area today for a surprise floral delivery to my spouse at work. Only could give a 4 hour lead time. Other shops (to remain nameless - I'll go ding them on Yelp later) had a neutral to poor attitude, and were on average $20 more than Mills the Florist. Spoke with "Shane" who was A W E S O M E. Treated me warmly, professionally, like he wanted to make my day. And he did. I haven't been treated this nicely in a long time, very much appreciated, therefore you will get my business and my friend's and family's business in the future. read more

My very first review and it is on my favorite florist. Mills is by far, the BEST florist in the Bay Area. Their flowers are the best quality and they last for a long time. What makes Mills stand above all other florists is their staff. I have never had bad service and I use them all the time. Rick was very helpful with getting me set up with flowers to make a wedding bouquet. He was very friendly and gave me some great tips on how to make my friend's bouquet beautiful. Molly was purely awesome! She was a breath of fresh air and she left me with a lasting smile after ordering my flowers from her. I cannot say enough of about Mills. They are truly my favorite florist and I highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I can't say enough about Mills, they simply are the best. We were ordering a number of bouquets, we were in a hurry and Shane was simply amazing. He quickly got the vibe we were looking for and nailed it. Mills really is the best. read more

Stay away from this flower shop. Poor coustermer service. So I pre ordered 2 dozen Rose's. I wanted to supprise my fiance 4 our anniversary. I was told I could just grab them from the freezer and go. When i got there I rang the bell plenty of times no answer. I was upset because the Rose's looked like crap. If ima spend 150 I want the Rose's to look amazing. Insted they were ugly like if they were in a rush. Every single rose was imperfect. And the filler they used was brown and dry.. I called a man named Shane and he told me to bring them back so he can sell them to some1 else..... ok fine I did that but how do I get a refund. Well it's been over 12 days now and still nothing. I know flowers because of this shop. Iam a good customer I spend a lot of money here...... I will never spend my money here again.... ps..... dont buy big amounts of roses they do better jobs on 1 dozen read more

Have gone to Mills a few times. The first time was when my girlfriend (now wife) and I just started dating. I walked in a few days before Valentine's Day and was very pleased with the service and the appearance of the flowers. More importantly; the aforementioned 'now wife' loved them. I looked like a rock star! Not that the flowers made me look like a rock star- I always look like that! Blagahaha!! Fast forward ten years and I went back to Mills again (and a few times in between) and I was treated once again to the very best. They will do whatever you want and/or make it easy for you by suggesting something. This place will always have a special place for my wife and I. Most definitely you should give them a chance to win you over, too- read more

so, i've never actually ordered from this shop because they are way pricey... also, based on the other reviews i would hesitate to patronize them at this point. that said, i have always admired their amazing flowers whenever i walk by, or go into the store. today i received an arrangement from them that was absolutely stunning - and I have very high standards ;) so, issues aside, they do still have awesome, fresh and hard to find flowers. i give them 3 stars based on cost v. product. read more

My experience with Mills the Florist and my contact there, Poppie, was only positive. We were planning a small wedding ceremony in a local restaurant and they suggested we call Poppie. I can't say enough about her and about the quality of the flowers we got from Mills. At our first meeting I was a big jumble of lots of very distinct possible ideas for the wedding bouquets, corsages, centerpieces etc. Poppie just let me brainstorm as much as I wanted, kept up with my pace, and then set up a more formal appointment one week later to clearly define how we should proceed. She incorporated every preference I stated, even when some of them were definitely less common. White flowers are symbolic of death and mourning in Chinese culture, so we were trying to avoid those as much as possible. My bouquet was yellow, a combination of daffodils, orchids, tulips, cala lillies and ivy. I love dendrobium orchids, but they are usually either white or bright-pink. So Poppie took some white ones and dyed them yellow herself! She also came up with some great ideas how to make the centerpieces and the main ceremony-site decorations all fit with the modern/asian themes of the restaurant. We got married in front of this tapestry of asian life, and she placed the bouquets in front of it such that they worked as a continuation of the scene in the tapestry - it was very cool to see when we showed up at the restaurant. My husband wanted to have a traditional boutonniere, one which gets pushed into a lapel button hole instead of pinned on. Poppie even had him come in with his tux so they could see the size of the hole and figure out, in advance, how a rose would best work in that situation and whether she'd need to do any pre-preparations on that rose. She also prepared some spray roses and jasmine blossoms for me to put in my hair and every part of the order was on time and exactly as it should be. The prices were completely reasonable as well and we definitely got our money's worth. I've been suggesting to my husband that if he ever wants to buy me flowers, all he has to do is contact Poppie and let her take care of it... she knows exactly what I like. And I, for one, know where I'm going if I want to buy flowers for someone else. read more

Fantastic arrangements and super friendly staff. Even the inexpensive bouquets are vibrant and last a long time. Favorite florist in the Bay Area! read more
